cepted by our club. Word will be re-

cents. The object Of this is to raise
the money Necessary to enable the Bill

sary, and to bear the expense Of fit
ting up the grounds with comfortable

Free Trade.

The reduction Of internal revenue
and the taking off of eveDu stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the con sumers,
as well a. relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup,
as the reduction Of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added to increase he
size Of the bottles containing these
remedies. thereby giving one.ffth
more medicine In the 10 cent size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia aud
Liver Complaint. and the German
syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines In the world. The advan-
tage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and shlicted, in every town and viii
lage ia civilized countries. Sample
bottles for lOcents remain the same size.
